September 11 Memorial

Twisted Steel Memorial

On the
10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist
attacks, the City of Hattiesburg and The University
of Southern Mississippi will receive a tremendous
memento of that event: two steel pieces from the
fallen World Trade Center twin towers.

Sept. 117:45 a.m. The City of Hattiesburg and
Southern Miss will sponsor a
public memorial service at Reed Green Coliseum to
commemorate the 10th anniversary of the terrorist
attacks and those who lost their lives that day.
General Jeff Hammond, who was nearly killed when the
Pentagon was attacked will deliver the keynote
address.

For more information, contact Chinika Hughes-Hood, City of Hattiesburg Public Relations Coordinator, at
